About Me

I began this blog a few years ago, under pressure from my sisters Patsy and Amanda. They probably thought I had a lot to say! Instead, it has become the place I get to showcase my craft - these days mostly carding. I'm lucky enough to be a housewife, so I get to do quite a lot of crafting! I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and a bunch of wonderful children. What more could a woman ask for!
